Does anyone else find it unfortunate how tough it is to create a human without cyber or magic who is above average in most stats? Since "4" is considered above average, you can put all your physical stats there, but limit your mental attributes to all 3. It's not a huge deal, but peculiar in that a starting human could hardly be made into a potential all-american football recruit while still expecting to get a 4 point gpa while being at least acceptable to look at (charisma) and not a complete pushover (willpower). That 200 points really hurts if you just want to be a (exceptional) normal human.
Just my thoughts, anyone else find it kinda strange that it's easier point wise to make a very smart ork who could play pro sports than a human? (barring cyber or magic) |
